Beijing time on December 11, the Snooker Scottish Open ended the one-day double competition, and the final top 8 were all released. In the one-day double match, two TOP10 players were eliminated. World No. 7 Sean Murphy continued the bad form of the season, losing 2-4 to Jamie O'Neal in the third round (O'Neal subsequently lost to Ding Junhui in the 1/8 finals). The world's 9th Mark Allen lost 3-4 to 38-year-old veteran Rich Wharton and also stopped in the top 16.
O'Neal currently ranks only 92nd in the world, which can be said to be the dark horse of this competition. In the face of Sean Murphy, O'Neal actually only shot two 50+ shots. The reason Murphy lost was because he made too many mistakes. Murphy is completely out of form this season, and it is difficult to even reach the top 8 in the rankings.
Another TOP10 also suffered out of bad luck. After the world's 9th Mark Allen won the championship, his status began to drop. Facing Zhou Yuelong and , he won 4-3 narrowly, but against Rich Wharton, Allen had no such luck. The two sides also fought to the decisive game. As a result, Wharton scored 73 points on a single stroke and won the game 4-3. In addition, Trump 4-1 easily defeated Mark Williams, the three-time world champion Uncle Ma currently has no chance against Trump, which is very emotional.
In the rest of the game, Ding Junhui also staged a frightening battle. He was behind 1-3 and defeated O'Neal 4-3. O'Neal also missed the consecutive defeat of two TOP10. Karen Wilson also experienced a hard fight, 4-3 lore to kill the former World Championship runner-up Hawkins, this battle played a very high standard, 7 games jointly blasted 7 60+, almost all of them won by one stroke. Z1z Selby defeated Lu Haotian 4-1 and O'Sullivan defeated Robbie Williams 4-1.
